&gt; Also, I mentioned before, experience is overriding, but in lack of it,

&gt; with a "yuppie"  haircut walking past you to his Volvo at night compared
&gt; to a long haired tatooed guy with a goa-tee, in a Budwieser tank top,
&gt; leather jacket, and ripped up faded jeans, walking past you to his
&gt; motorcycle at night.  While the truth may be that the business man is a
&gt; martial arts expert, and the punk is a wimp, the perception generally
&gt; speaking would make you more nervous about the punk guy.  Certainly the
&gt; charging lupine would look scarier than the weakly old man, but if that
&gt; old man is a master wizard...

Although I'm not sure if it actually has anything to do with what we're
talking about, I might note that part of the reason that someone might be
more nervous about the "punk" is that, statistically, the punk is more
likely to be looking for trouble.  I suppose this point is moot on a mud
where most everyone is looking for trouble...
